Intro
[Emaj9] [Eadd9] [Emaj9]
Verse
[Emaj9] "Welcome to the real world"
[Amaj9]she said to me condescendingly
[C#m7] "take a seat, take your life
plot [Em7]it out in black and white"
[Emaj9] well I never lived the dreams of the [Amaj9] prom kings
and the drama queens
I'd like to think the [C#m7] best of me
is still hiding [F#11] up my sleeve
Pre-chorus
they [Asus2] love [F#m11/A] to [Asus2] tell [Amaj9] you [Asus2]"stay [F#m11/A]in[Asus2]-side [Amaj9] the lines"[Emaj9]
[F#11] but something's better [Asus2] on the [Asus2/G#] other side [Emaj9]
Chorus
I want to [Am9] run through the halls of my [Emaj9] high school
I want to scream [Am9] at the top of my [Emaj9] lungs
I just found out [Am9] there's no such thing as the [Emaj9] real world
just a [Am9] lie you've got to rise [Emaj9] above
Verse
[Emaj9]so the good boys and girls
[Amaj9]take the so-called right track
faded white hats grabbing [C#m7] credits,
maybe transfers
they [Em7] read all the books but they can't find the answers
[Emaj9] all of our parents, they're getting [Amaj9]older
I wonder if they've wished for anything [C#m7] better
while in their memories, tiny [F#11] tragedies
Pre-chorus
they [Asus2] love [F#m11/A] to [Asus2] tell [Amaj9] you [Asus2]"stay [F#m11/A]in[Asus2]-side [Amaj9] the lines"[Emaj9]
[F#11] but something's better [Asus2] on the [Asus2/G#] other side [Emaj9]
Chorus
I want to [Am9] run through the halls of my [Emaj9] high school
I want to scream [Am9] at the top of my [Emaj9] lungs
I just found out [Am9] there's no such thing as the [Emaj9] real world
just a [Am9] lie you've got to rise [Emaj9] above
Bridge
[Fmaj7#11] [Aadd9] [Fmaj7#11] I am [Aadd9]invincible
[Fmaj7#11] I am [Aadd9] invincible
[Aadd9] I am invincible
[G13] as long as I'm alive
Interlude
[Asus2] [F#m11/A] [Asus2] [Amaj9] [Asus2] [F#m11/A] [Asus4] [Amaj9] [Emaj9]
Chorus
I want to [Am9] run through the halls of my [Emaj9] high school
I want to scream [Am9] at the top of my [Emaj9] lungs
I just found out [Am9] there's no such thing as the [Emaj9] real world
just a [Am9] lie you've got to rise [Emaj9] above
Outro
I just can't [Am9]wait for my ten year [Emaj9] reunion
I'm gonna [Am9] bust down the double [Emaj9] doors
and when I [Am9]stand on these tables before [Emaj9] you
you will [Am9] know what all this time was [Emaj9] for
